1) i was living in Victoria at the time. in no way is vancouver "my city" even now that I live here.
2) a s--- ton of people were out the next morning, volunteering to clean up and do repairs. for free. thousands of people.
3) i agree
3) i wouldn't have participated had i been here
4) Gradually, over the last few years, rioters caught on film have been charged, tried, convicted and sentenced to jail time or some relatively intense probation (including being banned from the downtown core in a few cases). The Canadian Justice system moves as slow as....well everything in Canada. but motherf---ers are going to jail for it, and i am totally ok with that.
5) even though it's not "my city" i love it here and it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world. to want to break it is beyond me. especially over some f---ing hockey.

There are so many more ways to exact change without protesting and advocating disolution. Have you ever noticed people can find gravity with one another over the problem; but never an answer to the real solutions. Change takes a redefining of priorities, and that is something that 2 people have a hard time doing, muchless a society.

How about instead of acting surprised there is a game at play, manipulate it and make it work for you in hopes to enrich your communities lives.
